OUR WORK
MIDDLE EAST-NORTH AFRICA
With one of the youngest populations in the world, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is experiencing social, economic, and political transformations driven by the needs of young people. GNG opened a regional office in Amman, Jordan in 2013 to provide opportunities to MENA youth to engage meaningfully with peers around the world. As MENA economies become more knowledge-intensive, the skills youth need to succeed have changed. GNG’s programs address the skills identified by employers as imperative in these shifting economies: communication across difference, critical thinking and analysis, interpersonal skills, and actionable curiosity.
OUR WORLD IS CHANGING.
Young people lack the opportunities to meaningfully and productively engage with difference in a world that is undergoing vast social, cultural, technological, and economic transformation.
Global Nomads Group’s (GNG) flagship programming was piloted in Amman, Jordan in 2015. GNG connects middle- and high-school students in the MENA region with partner classrooms in the U.S. through virtual exchange and interactive curricula. By providing an online platform for youth to interact and engage with different perspectives, we help students break down stereotypes, address community challenges, develop 21st century skills, and explore what it means to be a global citizen.
